AID for no other rsasep. when IL fails
in its dnly 90 newspaper, it expects its

70 furnish ell the news. Il expects 70 70
tain ths patronaRs and friendship Of
the people a. Washington Territory.
II must not be Imagined. however,
because 10 IL the ambition Of the P0sr-
IHTxE1IaKNcKR 20 be the great medium
By shich the revs Of the world Is con-
seyed 10 the people Of Warrington Ter
ritosy. that IL will not have decided
opinions OF shat 10 will fail 10 express
them. On the contrary, IL will be cut
spoken upon ever topic Of public in
sszest. On some points IL may differ
with Q majority Of lie readers with
some, Il may differ on all. Il viii speak
lee own opinions and ii viii make ne
prstenss that thsy are the opiBions Of
anybody else. Il claims the same right
10 give uttsFanse 10 its views that every
one Of lie Subscribers claims fer him
self. Il will be tolerant Of tts opinions
Of others. and it expects tolerance IL
return. Its news department will, Of
sOurse, be absolutely impartial. Il vii
give 10 the pablo the news that ii 70

nation. II will awe more news thar
sny other paper in the Territory, and !
hopes soon to give more than any othsl
paper in the Pacific Northwest. Il il
for the news that it expects TO be read
and, whether its readers like or dislikt

The WEEKLY PosT IETxLLIGENcKI
hopes soon to become sto the people Of
the entire Territory what 1t has hereto
fore. In q measure, been 10 the peopll
of Puget Sound. Il hopes To eiroulai,
in every county and to be looked upor
By ell the people IS the medium thrOugl
which they are supplied with the newt
Of the day. IL realizes, Of course, thai
il is the duty Of the people Of each coun.
~ 10 support their county papers, anC
il has no idea Of aptagonizing or com.
ing into competition with the many
weekly newspapers Published throneb
out the Territory. II realizes also
however, that the people Of the Terrific
~ generally do not look 10 their county
papers for toe news. They usually take
10 addition, one or more weskly paper,
from the East or from California. Il
is to f1il.the place OF these that the Posr
ISTELLIoENoER will strive. II IL gives
as much news. and gives ID 10 a. read
able shape. as the Eastern weekliel
Which circulate in the Territory, il seei
no reason Why the people should mo-
take IL in preference TO them. Will,
the people Of each cOanty should sup
port their oounsy papers right heartily
there should also be Territorial papsl
which should recsive an equally heart,
support. Il IL the latter position vhicl

We sincerely hope that the WEEKLY II

patterns. An effort will be made 10 i'm
